Stay a while longer as the light fades. The park is peaceful in the evening, and the indoor pool lights may begin to glow in the distance, marking the transition from day to night.
Local tip
The outdoor pool is free, but the indoor one at Champagnat requires a fee. Stick to the park grounds for a relaxed, cost-free sunset view.
